Re: More changes to All-Star game

I still like the ASG. It's the one ASG that seems good and fits into the season well. I always thought not having a DH every year was not right. If ever a game screams for a DH it's the ASG. No reason not to have re-entry in case of injury either. It would be stupid to put a pitcher in the outfield because all the outfielders had been used and someone got hurt.

Re: More changes to All-Star game

Abolish the home field advantage in the WS rule and all the above make sense. The worst thing that can happen in an AS game is some player get injured. While I am opposed to the DH rule, I think its fake baseball, it makes sense not to have pitchers hit in the all star game.

I do like a re-entry rule if a game due to injury or due to an extra innings game.

Re: More changes to All-Star game

I used to like the All Star Game, back when the NL team had Reds players on it and the teams took it seriously. I haven't watched one in years. The Reds have had more than their one guaranteed selection only three times in the past 15 years. There's just not much thrill in watching a four-hour game on the off-chance that the Reds lone representative gets to pitch to a batter.

I got spoiled by the 70s and 80s, especially the 70s (which likely proves that the claims made by some here are valid).
